Reconstruction of Residual Stress in a Welded Plate Using the Variational Eigenstrain Approach

We present the formulation for finding the distribution of eigenstrains, i.e. the sources of residual stress, from a set of measurements of residual elastic strain (e.g. by diffraction), or residual stress, or stress redistribution, or distortion. The variational formulation employed seeks to achiev...
